Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[uniacto]

not sure if this counts as an accomplishment, but I've learned how to use Old Pochmann now! All that's left is memorization, and I should be able to solve BLD... Any tips on a easy way to memo?

I personally use Letter Pair Images but you can check the Wiki for more options and see if there is one that suits you.

3x3x3 MBLD: 31/37, 58:06 [memo 33:37]
memo 54.51s/cube
solve 39.70s/cube

The blindfold race. Maybe one day I will have better accuracy...

wot. I remember when Ryosuke Mondo got a 14/40 multibld and spent over a week memorizing :/

I Just solved the 4x4 Blindfolded in 19:22.74
after 14 tries i finally got it!

on my way to memorizing all 12 edges! I just memo'd 9/12 using OP. After I get all the edges, (I'm giving myself half a week or so) I'll work on memoing corners. I should be able to do 3BLD by the end of the month. I'm hoping

 

[qqwref]

You're spending half a week memorizing the edges? I think you must be doing something very wrong. My first attempt with OP took 11 minutes :|

I may be mistaken, but I think he was talking about doing attempts where he doesn't memorize all the edges.

looking back at my post, I does look like I meant that, but I actually meant that I would spend half a week drilling memoing edges, then another half a week drilling memoing corners. my brain works really slowly when I'm learning new things, haha.

Dividing your goals is a perfect approach. You'll have a success in no time.

Oh okay, the 9/12 part threw me off a bit there. I was imagining someone who had memorized 9 edges so far and planned to get the last three done in the next few days.

thanks for the encouragement. I'm afraid of failure most of the time, but I know that I'll have quite of few in my journey of 3BLD, haha.

hahaa, nah. It's hard for me to memo, but not THAT hard. xD

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

Megaminx success!!! Memo was terrible but whatever.

I'll post in the video gallery once the video has finished uploading to Youtube.

3BLD:

Got a 58.40 with a pop. A piece actually popped out and fell into my lap. Luckily, I knew exactly where I was when I put it back in. Good thing I put it in right too. I don't know if it's a video worth uploading though.

Also 39.80 Mo3, I got it yesterday, but didn't notice until today. Times: 36.18, 33.71, 49.51

Edit 2/19: Since no one has posted here, and I didn't want to make a double post:

3/3 MBLD PB: 4:55.12

The scrambles were fairly easy; none had parity.

Edit 2/20:

I've done more than 1000 solves since February started. 1003 on qqTimer, and more at other places (twisttheweb, etc). On qqTimer, I got 561/1003 successes, with a 57.90 mean of the 561. PB's include: 39.80 mo3, 42.04 avg5, and 51.30 avg12. Approximately 30 of all the solves were sub 40. I definitely need to work on my accuracy! On another note, I recently got a 38 with 8 second memo, probably a PB memo speed.

54.61[19.46] 3BLD single. PB and my 2nd sub 1.

 

[porkynator]

Did some 3BLD solves. The last time I did it was more than 2 months ago.
The best solve was a 43, I think it while take some time to get back to the kind of times I was able to do, especially for memo (I was around 13-17 today).

 

[Noahaha]

Success on cam. Filmed so I could see what I did wrong. Ended up getting a success. 6:18.94. Not a PB but still an accomplishment. Kinda safetied.
